Two inches of mulch is about 2" more than most of my garden has had for the last four years. Cedar's a good idea. That's probably what I should be getting. But I left the choice of material up to the gardening helper who will be putting it down ... so I don't really know what kind it will be. All I know is that there's going to be six yards of it in the garden soon. I guess we'll see what happens after Wednesday. Does mulch contribute to fungal disease? Stay tuned.
